Description: Burton Ripcord Snowboard

From the backcountry powder to the maintained runs, the Burton Ripcord Snowboard is ready to tear up the slopes and leave all others in the dust. The Ripcord is rated for both freeride and all-mountain boarding so that you can go play in the powder without getting bogged down and have plenty of adventures. The V-Rocker tips up both the tip and tail of the board allow for better float along the powder so that both beginning and intermediate riders will find enough challenges to keep them exploring and testing their limits. This is a board that will give you a fast ride from the top of the mountain to the bottom.

My son is 5'6" and is 90 lbs. Is this 150 too short for him even though he's a lightweight? I hope to get two years out of it at which time he'll be about 5'9-5"10 and 120 lbs. He's built like his brother so I know what to expect. He's a beginner/intermediate.

Best Answer:I am 6 foot and about 150 lbs I got a 154 and absolutely love it. I do like a little shorter board for doing tricks and stuff. I went for a board that was right in the middle on the sizing chart. Dont go too small or risk cracking or breaking the board. In the end it all depends on personal prefrence. I believe that would fit him well for his size.

I'm 5'6" 150lbs and this board was perfect for me. I'm about intermediate level and like to go fast, so this board is great. If he's going to grow to 5'9" in a couple of years, I'd recommend you getting a board slightly longer unless he likes riding shortboards.

Best Answer:Unfortunately the Sapient bindings will not work with the Burton Ripcord Snowboard - or any Burton boards. You will need to pair the Burton Ripcord Snowboard with a 3D compatible binding. Check out our selection here: http://www.the-house.com/3d-bindings.html

I am looking for a well built binding that is going to last me a while but i don't want to spend too much money on them. I am a intermediate rider that will mostly being just riding the slopes, but will occasionally hit some jumps. Definitely want to try and stay below $200 if possible. Got any suggestions?
